Desire
5 February, 2003
Author: Jim McClean
I asked my soul a question
I didn't want no lies
Are the fires within me
Ever to arise?
I gazed upon a gaunt figure
A tired and twisted man
realising my reflection
That moment my life began
For too long I've been too cautious
For too long I've been too lonely
For too long I've been too sad
No More 'If Only'
The flames of desire
Although covered in barbwire
Will lift me from this quagmire
From now I will inspire
Now I excitedly dream
That I will reign supreme
Like the cat that got the cream
For it's true I've been redeemed
